Qur'an 7.146: "But when they see the path of straying they will adopt it as their path."

"Once I happened to meet a fellow, a Muslim from Bosnia and he told Me, "I want to die for my religion, for God's sake." I said, "But why? Who told you to die?" He said, "Now, if I die in the name of God, I'll be resurrected." I said, "It's all wrong. That's not the way it is going to work out. Resurrection is going to work out this way that at this time, all these souls will take their birth. All these souls will take their birth and they will be resurrected. As human beings they'll have to come."
That's why we find all kinds of funny people these days, all kinds of cruel, criminal, all kinds of idiotic, stupid, I mean very queer, weird, funny ideas which find such, such a variety of people and such a tremendous population that we should understand they have to have their chance of Resurrection. But how many will come? That's the point. How many are going to come?" " - Shri Mataji

The Holy Qur'an

Surah 75:20-21

1. I do call to witness the Resurrection Day;
2. And I do call to witness the self-reproaching Spirit.
3. Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?
4. Nay, We are able to put together in perfect order, the very tip of his fingers.
5. But man wishes to do wrong (even) in the time in front of him.
6. He questions: "When is the Day of Resurrection?"
7. At length, when the sight is dazed
8. And the moon is buried in darkness
9. And the sun and moon are joined together that Day will Man say;
10. "Where is the refuge?"
11. By no means! No place of safety!"
12. Before the Lord (alone), that Day will be the place of rest.
13. That Day will Man be told (all) that he put forward, and all that he put back.
14. Nay, man will be evidence against himself,
15. Even though he were to make excuses.
16. Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur'an), to make haste therewith.
17. It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it:
18. But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital:
19. Nay more, it is for Us to explain it:20. Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,
21. And leave alone the Hereafter.
22. Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty) -
23. Looking towards their Lord;
24. And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal,
25. In the thought that some backbreaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;
26. Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collarbone (in its exit),
27. And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?"
28. And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;
29. And one leg will be joined with another:
30. The Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!
31. So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray! -
32. But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away!
33. Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!
34. Woe to thee, (O man!), yea, woe!
35. Again, woe to thee, (O man!), yea, woe!
36. Does Man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?
37. Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?
38. Then did he become a clinging clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion.
39. And of him He made two sexes, male and female.
40. Has not he, (the same), the power to give life to the dead?

surah 75:1-40 Al Qiyamah (The Resurrection)

I will divert from My revelations,
Those who are arrogant on earth without justification.
Consequently, when they see every kind of proof they will not believe.
And when they see the path of guidance they will not adopt it as their path,
But when they see the path of straying they will adopt it as their path.
This is the consequence of their rejecting our proofs,
And being totally heedless thereof.

"MOSCOW, July 7 - Almost three years after being driven out of Chechnya, Russia is going on the offensive along its border with the breakaway region, using pre-emptive strikes to fight Chechen gunmen despite risks the attacks could lead to a major new conflict. One of the Russian government's main goals is to quell soaring violence and crime in the northern Caucasus, particularly the hundreds of kidnappings in recent years by Chechen gangs. . . .Moscow is also reacting to the threat to its control of other Muslim republics in the region. Pro-independence Islamic groups, aided by Chechen fundamentalists, have staged attacks on Russian forces.

The northern Caucasus is an intricate web of tribal, ethnic and religious animosities reaching back centuries. Moscow's hold on the poor mountainous region on its southern border, never strong, is slipping at a time when Russia's economy and military are in shambles. . . .Chechen President Aslan Maskhadov, who wants to improve relations with Moscow, is under strong pressure from Chechen Islamic radicals, who command large forces and oppose any deal with Russia. Maskhadov has little authority in the lawless republic and there have been several attempts on his life."

Tourists die in Yemen explosion

Four South Korean tourists visiting Yemen have been killed by an explosion while posing for photographs near the historic fortified city of Shibam.

Two Yemenis accompanying the party to a hill overlooking the UN World Heritage site were also killed. At least three other people were injured.

The cause of the blast is unclear although Yemen has been seen as a haven for Islamist militants.

Pir Sahaba Sultan, a prominent Shiite Muslim, and his four supporters were attacked by gunmen on two motorcycles outside his home in Shor Kot, about 95 miles southeast of the Punjab capital of Lahore, police said. All five apparently died immediately...

Earlier this month, 18 Shiite Muslim worshipers were gunned down in the Punjab province by militant Sunni Muslims. Police have made no arrests in connection with those killings...

"We will be forced to take up arms and we will avenge their deaths ourselves," warned Taqi Shah, a spokesman for the Shiite Muslim group. He also urged the Punjab provincial government to call in the army to protect Shiite Muslims."

India identifies terrorist training camps

"By Satinder Bindra
CNN New Delhi Bureau
September 19, 2001

NEW DELHI, India (CNN) -- India has been working with the United States in the days following last week's hijacking attacks by sharing the locations of what it said are terrorist training camps.

Indian intelligence officials said that for more than a decade Islamic militants have been training in Afghanistan and Pakistan for a jihad, or holy war.

Sources told CNN that more than 120 camps are operating in the two countries. The camps are small, they are easy to move, and they can be difficult to track by satellite because of the region's rough terrain.

Some Indian defense officials predicted it could take a decade for the United States to root them all out.

India recently released videos shot in what it said were training camps operating in Pakistan.

The videos show men training with machine guns and heavy weapons. The men are shown practicing daring maneuvers, firing their weapons as they hang from ropes and run through obstacles.

In one case, the men are depicted using a picture of former U.S. President Bill Clinton for target practice.

It is not clear who financed the camp, but insignias and slogans visible on the video suggest it could have been operated by a group called Al-Badr.

Al-Badr has said it is not associated with Osama bin Laden, the alleged terrorist mastermind named as the prime suspect in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

The group does share a similar ideology.

"Islam must rule the world and until Islam does rule the world we will continue to sacrifice our lives," Al-Badr spokesman Mustaq Aksari told CNN in an interview four months ago.

He said the group recruits fighters from around the world, including the United States.

Some of the men fought in the Afghan civil war or in the Islamic insurgency to end Indian rule in the state of Kashmir.

Former militant Liaqat Ali said he trained for six months at a similar camp in Afghanistan in the early 1990's. He said each day started and ended with prayers.

"They used to tell us America is a devil for Islam and we need to crush America," Ali said. "You know to play with one's religious emotions and that's it. If you do that, you are there, you can do anything. it's a human bomb available."

Ali said he fought in the Afghan civil war in 1992 and then returned to Kashmir and joined the fight against Indian troops.

He surrendered in 1994 and has been collaborating with Indian authorities. He said he turned against his former partners because they were only spreading hate and terror.

"Killing 5,000, 6,000 people in America and we lost so many people, thousands of them in Kashmir," Ali said. "it's all disturbing."...

Ali said he believes the United States must strike the training camps if it hopes to win the war on terrorism.

"If you don't hit terrorist camps, if you don't control those countries which are harboring terrorists," Ali said, "you are going to have lots and lots of terrorists over the world." "

Yemen to fight rebels for 'years'

Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh has said the government is ready to fight Shia rebels in the north of the country for five or six years if necessary.

Speaking at a ceremony to mark the 47th anniversary of the overthrow of a Shia Muslim state, Mr Saleh urged the rebels to accept a ceasefire.

The rebels accuse the government of breaching a recent truce.

Hundreds have died in a recent flare-up in the five-year conflict, which has left 150,000 people displaced.

Iraq says 85,000 violently killed

Just over 85,000 Iraqis were killed in Iraq between 2004 and 2008, according to the first estimate from the Iraqi government since the war began...

"Through the terrorist attacks like explosions, assassinations, kidnappings and forced displacements, the outlawed groups have created these terrible figures which represent a big challenge for the rule of law and for the Iraqi people," it said.

And I do call to witness the self-reproaching Spirit.

Concerning what are they disputing?
Concerning the Great News. [5889]
About which they cannot agree.
Verily, they shall soon (come to) know!
Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know!

surah 78:1-5 Al Naba' (The Great News)

"5889. Great News: usually understood to mean the News or Message of the Resurrection."

Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, Amana Corporation, 1989.

Types of Kufr (Disbelief) " Adapted from 'Tafseer ibn Katheer'

1. Kufrul-'Inaad: Disbelief out of stubbornness;
2. Kufrul-Inkaar: Disbelief out of denial;
3. Kufrul-Kibr: Disbelief out of arrogance and pride;
4. Kufrul-Juhood: Disbelief out of rejection;
5. Kufrul-Nifaaq: Disbelief out of hypocrisy;
6. Kufrul-Kurh: Disbelief out of detesting any of Allah's commands;
7. Kufrul-Istihzaha: Disbelief due to mockery and derision;
8. Kufrul-I'raadh: Disbelief due to avoidance;

In Abdullah Yusuf Ali's commentary Kufr, Kafara, Kafir, and
derivative forms of the word imply a deliberate rejection of faith, revelation and truth of the Holy Qur'an:
"The culmination of Allah's Revelation is in the Qur'an, which confirms
previous scriptures, corrects the errors which men introduced into
them, and explains many points in detail for all who seek right
worship and service to Allah"whether they inherit the previous Books
or not. It is a universal Message ... The worst and most hardened
sinner is the man to whom Allah's Signs are actually brought home and
who yet prefers Evil and turns away from the Light of Allah. The
Signs may be in the words and guidance of a great Teacher or in some
sorrow or warning, but from which he deliberately refuses to profit.
The penalty"the Nemesis"must necessary come eventually."

According to Ibn Taymiyah (1263 – 1328) "kufr is
the attribute of everyone who rejects something that God has
commanded us to believe in, after news of that has reached him,
whether he rejects it in his heart without uttering it, or he speaks
those words of rejection without believing it in his heart, or he
does both; or he does an action which is described in the texts as
putting one beyond the pale of faith."

"Just as faith for Muslims has to do not with believing but with knowing, so
kufr, rejection, is not a lack of belief, not an intellectual position that holds that something is
otherwise than is the case, and certainly it is not mere ignorance. Rather it, too, like its correlative iman, presupposes knowledge; for it is an active
repudiation of what one knows to be true. This is why it is a sin, and indeed a (the)
monstrous sin. It is the one final, cosmic (or some would say, the one final human) wrong;
the deliberate saying of 'no' to what one knows to be right." (Wilfred Cantwell Smith On understanding Islam: selected studies, page 154)

"Say "See ye if the (Revelation) is (really) from Allah, and yet ye reject it? Who is
more astray than one who is in a schism far (from any purpose)? Soon will We show them Our Signs
in the Regions (of the earth) and in their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth." - Quran 41:52-53.
The Resurrection is a universal Message for all humanity. To confirm the absolute truth and evidence of its commencement Allah (SWT) and His Ruh have already shown ample and irrefutable
Signs on Earth (exoteric/physical/external/ macrocosm) and souls of children (esoteric/spiritual/inner/microcosm). Abdullah Yusuf Ali's footnotes of surah 41:52-53 exhort
human beings to deeply examine and introspect those Signs and Revelations:
"Examine your own souls. See if you do not really find something unusual
in Allah's Revelation! If you do, and yet you reject it, what a terrible responsibility fastens itself on you? Could
anything be more foolish or more misguided than to reject a Message which is transforming the whole world?"

Therefore most of the Al-Kufr ul Akbar (major disbeliefs) are applicable to
those rejecting or disbelieving Allah's (SWT) Signs and surahs
upholding the collection, promulgation, recital, explanation and
warning of the following:

i) His Call to witness Al-Qiyamah (The Resurrection);
ii) His Call to witness His Ruh (self-reproaching Spirit);
iii) His Call to heed Al Naba (The Great News);
iv) His Call to participate in Al Qadr (The Night of Power and Destiny);
v) His Call to confirm His Revelations, Signs, and Warnings (of i-iv).

Thus kaffir (non-believer) here is applied to all humankind,
both Muslim and non-Muslim, who reject the Call that God has commanded us
to believe in after His Revelations, Signs and Warnings have reached us.
The Qur'an clearly warns that many will disbelief, even mock, the
Great News and Sure Signs of Al-Qiyamah.

So be forewarned, and in the Hereafter never deny deliverance of this clear Warning:
"O ye assembly of Jinns and men! came there not unto you
messengers from amongst you, setting forth unto you My signs, and
warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" Qur'an 6.130

And those still rejecting, hesitant or unable to make up their minds even after hearing the Great News and shown the Signs,
Allah (SWT) questions: "Are they waiting until the Hour comes to them
suddenly? All the Signs thereof have already come. Once the Hour
comes to them, how will they benefit from their message?" "Why do
they not study the Quran carefully? Do they have locks on their
minds?" Qur'an 47:18-24

The last paragraph is yet another warning from Allah (SWT) that
prior to the Wrath of the End (Al Qariah) humans are offered the
Mercy of the Resurrection (Al Qadr). And once the Hour of Al Qariah
comes to them, how will they benefit from their contemporary message of Al Qadr i.e., from the Great News of the messengers from amongst you? How will those reading these lines benefit if they continue to doubt and wait, and the Striking Day comes suddenly?
What use then will be the Mercy and Compassion of Al Qadr (Night of Destiny) if the morn of the Al Qariah (Striking Day) ends His Peace?
Why doesn't the Ummah then not study the Quran with painstaking effort to avoid the errors, mistranslation and ignorance of the ulema that have presently paralyzed their minds from believing the Great News? Why don't they use their own brains and intelligence to understand Al Qiyamah, the heart and soul of the living, breathing Quran? Living and breathing because God Almighty is now talking directly to you through His Holy Book! After all, it is Allah (SWT) who has now called out to all Believers with this Decree: "I do call to witness the Resurrection Day; And I do call to witness the self-reproaching Spirit." He is specifically addressing you in particular (and Believers is general) to do so!

Only now in this modern age of universal education, mass media and publishing technology"after 14 centuries and unlike the illiterate past"is it possible to own and be sufficiently
literate to "study the Quran carefully" in languages they understand
best.* And just in case the Believers start studying the entire Qur'an, it
must be stressed that Allah (SWT) is referring specifically to those
eschatological Signs and surahs upholding His Call to bear witness of the
Resurrection! They must thoroughly examine and understand the Signs that have already manifested, and
set forth by messengers from amongst themselves.

Without question, to "study the Quran carefully" means using one's own mental faculties, not those of the ulema (Muslim clergy) who have
for centuries put "locks on their minds" and are the very reason for
the Ummah's present predicament i.e., their unprecedented kaffir-like mindset,
reaction, rejection and mocking of His Call, Signs and Great News of the Resurrection. They must know that during Al Qadr no 'graves are going to open up'
as this is His Night of Compassion and Mercy. So "Peace!... This until the rise of the morn!" (Quran 97:5)

"There is so much blind faith, there is so much of wrong ideas, so much of organizational fortresses they have built. All kinds of nonsensical things are going on in this world, but they'll all be finished."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Vienna, Austria, 8 June 1988

"We are now in the Blossom Time, as I call it, because many flowers are born and they are to become the fruits. This is the Resurrection Time, which is described in all the scriptures. But it's not like this, the way they had described us. Something wrong with them that all the dead bodies who are in the graves will come out of the graves. I mean, how much is left out of them, God knows. Must be some bones or maybe some skulls there. So they'll come out of the graves and they will get their Resurrection!!!? This is a very wrong idea.

Once I happened to meet a fellow, a Muslim from Bosnia and he told Me, "I want to die for my religion, for God's sake." I said, "But why? Who told you to die?" He said, "Now, if I die in the name of God, I'll be resurrected." I said, "It's all wrong. That's not the way it is going to work out. Resurrection is going to work out this way that at this time, all these souls will take their birth. All these souls will take their birth and they will be resurrected. As human beings they'll have to come."

That's why we find all kinds of funny people these days, all kinds of cruel, criminal, all kinds of idiotic, stupid, I mean very queer, weird, funny ideas which find such, such a variety of people and such a tremendous population that we should understand they have to have their chance of Resurrection. But how many will come? That's the point. How many are going to come?"

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Philadelphia, USA " October 15, 1993

So Peace to all Believers bearing witness to the Resurrection (Al-Qiyamah)! So Peace to all Believers bearing witness to His self-reproaching Spirit (Ruh)! So Peace to all Believers resurrecting themselves during this blessed Night of Power and Destiny (Al Qadr)! So Peace to all Believers of the Great News (Al Naba)! So Peace until the dreadful morn of the Great Calamity, the Striking Day (Al Qariah) against the Unbelievers (Al-Kafirun)!

Last, but not the least, the Qur'an insists that ample warning of impending calamity must be always delivered by His messengers:

"That is because thy Lord would never destroy the cities unjustly, while their inhabitants were heedless." (Quran 6.131);
"Never did We destroy a population, but had its warners - By way of reminder; and We never are unjust." (Quran 26:208-209);
"And never did Thy Lord destroy the townships, till He had raised up in their mother-town a messenger reciting unto them Our revelations." (Quran 27:59);

This cardinal rule has been expressly complied with and Warning of the impending Great Calamity repeatedly announced and fearlessly upheld by the incarnation of His Ruh for more than three decades until Her retirement in 2008 at the age of 85. (Since Jesus is the mandatory Sign of the Hour [Quran 43:61], and as the Comforter promised and sent by God Almighty in Jesus' name, She has also ceaselessly glorified Christ and His Message of the Last Judgment.)

"I should do something to bring sense to these people (humanity). Something should happen to them otherwise what I see is a
complete disaster. It is going to happen. I do not want to frighten you
like Mrs Thatcher does about the Russians. That might be imaginary. But
this is real. I am warning you that the Disaster is going to come as destruction itself."

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
London, UK, 6 June 1983

"The Last Judgment has started. We are facing the Last Judgment today. We are not aware of it. And all the satanic forces have come out like the wolves in sheep's clothes. And they are trying to attract you and you do not judge them. You only sit down and judge the Reality. It has started! It is a fact! It has started!"

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
Kingston, UK, 6 November 1980

"I have such respect for so many of them (Muslims). I wish they could accept that this is not Jihad time anymore but
Qiyamah Time, the Resurrection Time, the Blossom Time. Are they going to miss it?"

" "Muslim illiteracy worldwide stands at about 51 percent for all age
groups over fifteen. Despite a rapid increase in primary school
enrollment, only 45 percent of Muslim children aged six to eleven
attend primary school. An even larger gap exists at higher levels of
research." - Martin S. Kramer, Arab awakening and Islamic revival,
1996, page 280;
" "The vast majority of Muslims do not speak Arabic as their native
tongue" - Christine Huda Dodge, The everything understanding Islam,
2003, page 21;
" "The degree of knowledge of Arabic determines a person's
understanding of the Islamic creed. The Quran, the Hadith and Sira
traditions (Prophetic sayings and actions), and the writings of the
early Islamic scholars and jurists were in Arabic. Imam Shafei (767-
820), the founder of the Shafei School of Sunni jurisprudence,
advocated that every Muslim should learn Arabic, at least to the
point of reciting the Quran (Hourani 1991, 68). Most non-Arab Muslims
do not understand Arabic." - Elie Elhadj, The Islamic Shield, 2006, page
22;
" "If your mother tongue is not Arabic, Satan (or his troops) will
encourage you to read the Quran in Arabic. Why does he do that?
Because he knows that you will not understand enough of it. The
majority of those who learn Arabic to study the Quran do not excel
enough to understand the implication or interpretation of certain
words when used in a special way in the Arabic language. They will
have a lot of shortcomings. Many Pakistani and Indian Muslims are
forced as children to read the Quran in Arabic and still as adults
read the Quran in Arabic but they do not understand a single word of
what they read... The Quran is a message, not just another beautiful
language book. If you cannot read it in Arabic do not wait until the
day you excel in your Arabic language, because this day may never
come. Trust God and know that He is the teacher of the Quran. He will
teach in any language and to any nationality, He created all things.
Read your Quran today, (do not wait any longer,) in any language that
you can understand and master and leave the rest to God." Dr. Rashad
Khalifa, Ph.d.

"Islam and co-exist? The words Khafer and Sharia sends a chill in the spine. Islam is a religion fundamentally intolerant. The idea of the religion is to dominate. How can anyone co-exist with such ideologies?"

Dhiman, India

"I don't think that Muslims and Christians can live side by side, because it is impossible unless one dominates the other, and still, they can't live in peace. For example look at what is happening in Indonesia."

David, Australia

"I think it is difficult for people living in west to give their opinion. They have to live in a Muslim country to see that it is not possible for Muslims and Christians to live side by side in the absence of mutual understanding.

In reality, freedoms of religion do not exist in Muslim countries. How can you live near a Muslim when he already has a particular feeling towards you (that you are a non-believer in god)."
